Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several other Trump officials are using Washington-area homes built for senior members of the military. Some former residents are worried that the break with tradition could make it more difficult for some admirals and generals to find affordable housing.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
